Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for adjusting the height of a table with three or more arranged in an edge region of the table legs, each adjacent legs are connected by a horizontal, hollow profile-like connecting element.
  • Each of the table legs comprises a telescopic mechanism for changing its length, which is adjustable by turning a rotatably mounted adjusting element, wherein the adjusting elements are vertical spindles and wherein a drive member is rotatably connected to each of the spindles.
  • the invention further relates to a table with a device for height adjustment and a method for retrofitting a table with a device for height adjustment.
  • the US 5,088,421 shows, for example, a work desk with a vertically adjustable worktop, which has at its corners four legs, which are connected laterally and on the back by plates. On the legs is a rectangular extending table frame, which carries the table top. The four table legs each have a spindle drive for height adjustment. In the corners of the frame triangular frames are fixed, each with a bearing for one of the spindles. All spindles are through a single circumferential chain, which runs along the Zargeninnenseite synchronized with each other. The chain is driven by a motor via a drive pinion.
  • the EP 0 283 103 A1 (Technical bottles Adviesbureau) relates to a table leg for a height-adjustable table with at least two, substantially juxtaposed L-shaped table legs.
  • the table legs comprise two mutually adjustable sections, of which the upper is fixed to the table top and the lower comprises a spindle bush which cooperates with a spindle in the upper portion.
